  • Voters in every western country have no idea what policies are being voted on. They vote with their feelings.

    There are a lot of enthusiastic people who want to be on team man, team money, team military. The first thing those people learned after their names was that they were BOYS and they would be sorted into the BOYS section, play on BOYS team. Voting Conservative is a natural extension of what they’ve been doing their whole lives.

    It’s harder motivating people to get out for team women, team tolerance, team responsibility. It requires a leader with charisma who we fall in love with.

    I’m being absolutely serious when I say the Democratic Party should have nominated George Clooney — a famous celebrity figurehead would guarantee they win every presidential election.


  • The Democrats expended a ton of political capital bailing out the teamsters pensions and they didn’t even earn an endorsement from them.

    Arizona had a ton of money and jobs pumped into it with the CHIPS act and it went for Trump.

    Delivering on promises and improving people’s material conditions didn’t move the needle at all.

    Voters don’t care about policy, they care about the President being a charismatic man who reminds them of their dad.



  • Your stance strikes me as performative. As everyone’s lives are getting harder, including the people you claim to be prioritizing, that’s okay because at least your hands are clean. That’s the most important thing to you, that everyone knows you personally are pure.

    The majority of the blame lays with the DNC, the GOP, and those that voted for Trump. But you will also share a portion of the blame, even if you deny and refuse to take responsibility for it, we all lay it on your shoulders anyways.
